Charlotte, N.C. — The Buffalo Bills will again be without a handful of players for their preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday.

Cornerback Leodis McKelvin is the biggest name on the Bills' inactive list. McKelvin is recovering from offseason hip surgery and has not been participating in practice this week.

Safeties Kenny Ladler and Derek Brim, guard Edawn Coughman and tackle Cordy Glenn are also on the inactive list for the Bills.

The good news for the Bills is that Marcell Dareus, who injured his hamstring on Wednesday, is not on the inactive list. That doesn't mean he will play, but it does indicate that his injury is not serious. Stephon Gilmore and Marquise Goodwin were both on the inactive list for the Hall of Fame Game but have been activated for this contest.
